Beauclerc Infant and Nursery School is a council school in Sunbury-on-Thames for boys and girls aged 3 to 7. It has 85 pupils and room for 90. About 11 in every 100 pupils come from a low-income family, far fewer than at most schools in England. We give it 11 out of 100. That puts it well below schools like it, ahead of 14% of the 50 schools most like it. Ofsted's last grade was good, back in 2023.

What Ofsted found

A shorter visit on 4 May 2023 found nothing to change the school's grade. Read the report on Ofsted's website.

Good overall. A shorter follow-up visit found nothing to change that. The last full inspection was before September 2019, which is as far back as Ofsted's public records go, so we can't show its date or the grades for each area.

Getting a place

Admissions policy not published.

Plenty of spare places47 pupils for 120 places, 2024/25
39% full

73 places were empty (61% of the total), so almost everyone who applies gets in. Pupil numbers have fallen by 47% since 2021/22, so places are getting easier to find.

Will my child get a place?

In 2026 every child who applied got a place, so how far away you live didn't matter. That could change if the school gets more popular.

We measure in a straight line from the middle of your postcode to the school. The council measures its own way, and the cut-off changes every year. Use this as a rough guide, and read the council's admissions booklet before you apply.

How places were given out for September 2026. Every child who applied got a place (22 offers for 30 places).

Compared with schools like it

Our score compares Beauclerc Infant and Nursery School with the 43 schools in England whose pupils are most like its own. We match on family income, how many children are learning English, special needs, the neighbourhood, the size of the school and how it admits pupils. Those 43 schools are dotted all over the country, so we don't list them. What matters is where this school sits among them.

How the score was worked out

The score is out of 100. A 11 means that once everything below is added up, this school comes out ahead of 11% of primary schools in England. Results bounce around from year to year, especially in small schools, so we also show a likely range: 4 to 28. That range is wide enough that the school could sit in the next band, so take the band as a rough guide rather than a verdict. Every part is judged against schools with a similar mix of pupils. For small schools we pull each part towards the group average, so one unusual year can't swing the score too far.
